Why I do what I do

It's my senior year at Grand Valley and the idea of graduation is daunting. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my degree in Communication Studies until very recently. The world of sports marketing is intriguing to me because it has such a broad range of career opportunities.

I'm very interested in media and the impact that it has on today's society. I think that media is an essential part of our world and that it will only continue its impact upon the population. Along with my interest in media is the interest I have in sports and the marketing of sports. This multimillion dollar industry is rife with media impact and opportunities.

In accordance with how I feel about these topics, my feeds reflect my interests. I chose MLive for the information on local sports because everything starts at home. On the other end of that spectrum, I chose BBC Sports for information on sports all around the world.I also chose to follow feeds such as Advertising Age and Sports Marketing because it is important to stay up on the current news coming out of both of those venues. I am also following mashable to stay atop of new and recent progressions in the world of social media.
